Schleswig-Jagel

Pre-War

The history of Schleswig-Jagel starts back in 1935, when both Schleswig-Jagel and Schleswig-See (Sea) served as training grounds for land based aircraft and seaplanes of Fliergersatzabteilung 16 (See). Due to a direct order by Hermann Göering no "real" Marineflieger existed - they were incorporated into the Luftwaffe and were known as Luftwaffe See.

The unit consisted of Focke-Wulf Fw 44 Stieglitz and Ar 66 bi-planes at Schleswig-Jagel and Heinkel He 59 and Heinkel He 60 seaplanes at Schleswig-See ("Freiheit").		Fw44 Stieglitz (unknown location)
These aircraft were soon accompanied by a variety of Luftwaffe units flying Dornier Do-23, Heinkel He 51 and Heinkel He 46. All of these units were temporarily based at Schleswig-Jagel for training purposes.		Arado Ar66 (unknown location)

The Dornier Do 23 was developed from the Dornier Do 11, which was the first auxiliary bomber of the new German Luftwaffe. Some hundred DO 23's were built between 1934 and 35. Some of them saw operational service during the war as mine-sweeping planes.		Dornier Do-23 (unknown location)
